Some folks just think hasan is attractive. There is no progressive or left wing Joe Rogan. I agree, but I can’t think of anyone active in progressive media that is better than them at the moment. Certainly we need some better options moving forward though. 1
TrymeB Posted November 6 Posted November 6 (edited) imagine SERIOUSLY thinking Marianne Williamson will ever be a POTUS candidate (win the primaries), let alone, win the national election. I'll have whatever she is having because God, I need it today. Edited November 6 by TrymeB 1
Navyofbadgals Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I don't want to say dems are complacent, certainly not as much as 2016, but the expectation that minorities are instantly voting for them isn't going to cut it anymore. The stupidity disease from other demographics is clearly contagious that bigotry is no longer a dealbreaker for some, if anything, it's welcomed by some 9
Pop Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Just now, Khal said: At this point, I'm going to need someone to explain to me like I'm 5 why some things work for Republicans, but not the Dems. Everything I've seen in these threads as the Dems failings, the Republicans have it on their side and much worse, except for maybe having a unified message- the Republicans did, and it was bigotry. Yet the Republicans still won. If one party is trying to be slightly "sensible" (and I'm not saying the Dems don't have issues) and the candidate for the other party can do/say anything he wants, no matter how divorced it is from reality, and it does not move his numbers, then the Dems have a bigger problem than the candidates they field. Like Harris' attempt at pandering with Cheney apparently led to her losing some people, but Trump's tariff nonsense and not having a coherent plan for the economy still led to people voting for him (to fix the economy!), then what are we even doing here? One is a political party, the other is an insane death cult. Hope that helps.

We just gotta wait for **** to really hit the fan in the hopes of people maybe waking up Girl, as someone else already pointed out, Europe ain't that far behind. But yeah, maybe it really has to get bad bad before people finally realize something needs to be done.
Cyanide Posted November 6 Posted November 6 18 minutes ago, Khal said: So, I'm going to whataboutism here a bit, but everything you just stated from being out of touch, to using "identity politics" to AIPAC, to corporations- the republicans (the party who just handily beat the Dems) are guilty of this and more. So, why did it work out for them and not the Dems? Because he could compare the economy from his last term to now, even if it wasn't to his credit. He also spoke to the working class and suffering poor whites, which is the silent majority in America
ClashAndBurn Posted November 6 Posted November 6 3 minutes ago, Azulito said: Kinda sad for Kamala as I grew to like her on a personal level. Biden should've just stayed in the race tbh Her refusal to separate herself from him when he was extremely unpopular never made sense. Chasing Republicans instead of trying to excite the base. Supporting a "lethal military" while there is a literal genocide going on I truly hope this wakes the DNC up and they realize that centrism doesn't win elections. Sadly they'll double and triple down. "Too liberal" is what the exit polls are saying so… there's only one possible reaction to that. 2
Adrian14 Posted November 6 Posted November 6 The abortion amendments were approved, even the one in Florida obtained 57% even though it was not approved, the issue does not go there.
Joyride Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I'm not claiming my Latino side anymore. I'm gonna say I'm European now since I'm basically 70% European and 30% Native American from Chile-Argentina 1

Republicans hate 'the other' more than they care about their self interests. As long as they can vote and punish some group they hate, they don't mind suffering. Democrats on the other hand are made up of pockets of different voter coalitions with each their own unique and sometimes contradictory wants from the other pockets, making it harder for Democrats to balance.

Oh I'm well aware my own country has elected the biggest islamophobe in Europe basically and has so far in a few months achieved nothing but incompetence.. and has yet to slip in the polls. but at least we're not a 2party country 1
K.O Posted November 6 Posted November 6 What are the states that the Democratic Party should target in the 2026 senate midterm elections? are there even any states left that could play out in Democrats favor?
anti-bitch Posted November 6 Posted November 6 2 minutes ago, Marianah Adkins said: I actually think they were really close at one point, they just swung hard to Trump last minute There was that one poll few days ago that showed Dems had 10 point advantage in enthusiasm over GOP... It's like all of it just disappeared in a couple of days
americanlife Posted November 6 Posted November 6 People are waking up and realizing that there needs to be change. Whether that happens under Trump is too soon to tell. Obama did not fulfill his campaign promises, letting minorities and the working class down. On top of so many other issues and the DNC not understanding that the people don't want these establishment Dems, this is why we are here now. DNC needs a complete overhaul, all new people and more progressives who will fight for the working class. Get rid of Pelosi, bye obamas, bye Clintons, bye Kamala, bye Biden. There's a reason why previous repub presidents and nominees don't associate with him, because their party has changed to speak to the American people. The DNC needs their trump moment. 1

nadiamendell Posted November 6 Posted November 6 This is definitely something to keep in mind going forward. 2
